Proposed merger[edit]

I'm not sure Victoria on her own would meet the criteria for notability; however, I do think that including data on her in her husband's page would make sense. Badbilltucker 14:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the merge tag and will move your comment to the appropriate place. -- Steven Fisher 20:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Agree. When a person's entry starts with: "is the wife of ______ / is the husband of _______" it should be fixed or removed. -- LR2

Please attribute sources[edit]

I've begun removing {{who}}s as this is WP:BLP. I'll give two weeks to attribute the success or the section goes. Thanks EvanCarroll 07:35, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow this article is biased and violates BLP[edit]

There is absolutely no way that one incident in the life of an individual can reasonably require this much information without blantantly violating BLP and undue weight. If there was an article that put this much information on one incident (percentage-wise) in an article and that person was a liberal or a communist then it would be ripped to shreds by the Wikipedia police immediately. This article needs to be removed. It is a joke and sham. It does not even attempt to be fair. This is an example of why people make fun of Wikipedia.--InaMaka (talk) 23:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, the airline "incident" is portrayed in a rather sanitized, one-sided manner favouring Victoria Osteen. See, for example, http://www.religionnewsblog.com/13086/osteen-family-leaves-plane-after-dispute for a perspective on the incident from the Houston Chronicle. AussieBoy (talk) 10:50, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article implies that the plaintiff in the court case was lying. The USA Today article cited as a source, however, is much more neutral. If anything, the Wikipedia article gives undue weight to the allegation that the plaintiff has made a false claim in the past. Bwrs (talk) 03:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree that the airline incident is given undue weight (as much space is devoted to the incident as to her History, Current Activities, and Book Publishing combined). I think the section should remain, but the airline incident can probably be pared down to 3-4 sentences and still convey the important points. I'll check back after a while and see if others have input and, after considering it, will decide if/how to proceed with editing the section. DoctorEric (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the article has been edited as I recommended above, with the superfluous wording and facts removed. If folks want to delve deeper into the incident, the referenced sources remain available. DoctorEric (talk) 22:23, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

POV Check[edit]

The section seems pretty neutral to me... I assume that it has been normalized in the year and some months since this concern was raised. I've removed the tag... feel free to reinsert if warranted. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
